Complaint 286749 Details

This was a scam selling OSU tickets. They said to go through ebay, but that was just so they could send a fake email from ebay.
the first email they sent was this:
Hi
The price for 2 will be $200
I will ship them via UPS Overnight so you can receive them in 24 hours (with tracking # ) . The shipping price is included.
Because I am new on craigslist I will do this transaction ONLY through eBay.
In order to start the transaction through eBay reply to me with the following details:
- your full name
- shipping address
- your email address
- your eBay id.
eBay will send you an invoice how to purchase the tickets from me.

Please check my feedback, my ebay id is " itsourturnnow "
Thank you
